With all the technology now days and the profits that show makes, and they have to have people hanging out the window yelling at each other over the revving engine??? Ever heard of radio systems? FFS

Well I could see it being fun, but not really for advertising. When I was younger I found an old A-frame winching flat bed that had sat and deteriorated with flat tires into the ground and I thought, why not see if I can yank this thing around with my 1971 F-100 4x4 w/ 360FE. So I strapped up (around the bumper) and a minute later my bumper brackets were torn/ripped in two and the bumper was half ways laying on the ground lol. I'm talking 3/16" thick steel bumper brackets lol. Oh well, it sure was fun not having to worry about scratching the paint or bumpers and getting that truck dirty, it was a blast. FFS
